Connect Edifact and Global Shop Solutions

Connecting Edifact and Global Shop Solutions for a company could allow the transfer of structured business documents, such as orders or invoices, between trading partners and internal ERP processes. This connection could help automate data exchange, reduce manual entry, and support compliance with electronic data interchange standards within the company's operations.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Edifact and Global Shop Solutions around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Edifact and Global Shop Solutions?

A company operating both Edifact and Global Shop Solutions could benefit from connecting the two systems to allow data to move between them automatically. Such a connection could help ensure that information such as orders, shipments, and inventory levels is consistent across both platforms. Without this, staff might need to enter the same details into each system separately, which can lead to errors, wasted time, and confusion. Records could become inconsistent if changes in one system are not updated in the other, resulting in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information. In environments where accurate and timely data is essential for planning, purchasing, and customer service, these issues could have significant operational impacts. Common types of data that could be shared between systems like Edifact and Global Shop Solutions include purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, inventory balances, and customer or supplier records. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Edifact and Global Shop Solutions make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
